Still... if something was truly wrong... Karina turned back to face the boy behind her. "If you don't want to stay, I don't blame you. I have half a mind to leave myself now that I see how many people are here," more people meant more questions, and Karina didn't feel like she was up to dodging them if she would be distracted by Mischa's health.
Did Karina not figure realise? That first task changed everything between them. He saw her in a new light. He had become...attracted to her. The biggest problem with that was his friendship with Strom. The guilt pangs continued hit Mischa. How could he do this to his friend? Karina was Strom's girlfriend. He Mischa was just the boy who hardly bothered to utter one word to her before.
Mischa looked away as Karina addressed him.
"No ve'll stay. Ve vere told to socialise.'' He was not going to ruin anything for Karina by making them leave. But there was another motive as to why he wanted to stay. He wanted a distraction from his own thoughts. Speaking of distractions. A Hogwartian was headed their way.

She couldn't help but smirk instead of smile at her bit of teasing. She glanced back at Broni, maybe she could give Min some insight on this one and why he wouldn't smile. She just found it so odd. "Anyway figured I'd just come over and make sure you are both getting along alright in the castle and to say good job with the first round." She was a great sport who would never gloat about winning, no that wasn't the seventh years style. She just wanted everyone to be happy and have fun.
It was the girl who loved to smile and Mischa knew she purposely put on that extra large smile. What was with everyone and smiles? The only person he thought that should be smiling every minute was Karina. She had the most beautiful smile......Mischa mentally shook his self from his thoughts.
Karina was off limits!
So instead he focused back to Minerva. She was a friendly one. Really trying her best to make them feel welcome.
"Still not smiling,'' he confirmed. Why would he want to do that?
"No thank vou. I am not hungry Minerva.'' Good job with the first round? No no no no no. Every time he thought of it Mischa wish he could go back and undo every moment of his stupidity.
"Thank vou. But congratulations to Hogvarts. The students clearly did a better job.'' Mischa gave compliments were they were deserved and as for the Hogwartians......they needed to watch out. They were not going to take first place again.
He could hear Karina speaking to him in Swedish. He knew in an instant she was only teasing him and it brought back memories from the Three Broomsticks when she had also teased him. Without realising it and with the thoughts of those memories and also due to the fact he was looking directly into Karina's eyes Mischa was smiling. A small smile. Not a big one. And he had not realise that he was.
